FOOD DONATIONS

We are focusing on nutrient-dense, shelf-stable foods that offer a balance of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. These options ensure women and children stay fueled and nourished during the summer, without requiring constant refrigeration. 

Proteins & Healthy Fats

  • Canned Tuna, Salmon, or Chicken: Rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, these are perfect for quick summer salads or sandwiches.

  • Nut Butters: Peanut, almond, or sunflower seed butter provide sustained energy and pair well with shelf-stable crackers.

  • Canned Beans & Lentils: Excellent sources of plant-based protein and fiber. Stock up on black beans, chickpeas, and lentils. 

Vitamins & Nutrients (Pantry-Friendly)

  • Dried or Freeze-Dried Fruit: Naturally sweet, high in fiber, and great for kids on the go. Look for unsweetened options like mangoes, apples, or raisins.

  • Canned Vegetables: Canned tomatoes, green beans, and corn provide essential vitamins and pair perfectly with outdoor meals.

  • Unsalted Nuts & Seeds: Almonds, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds are highly nutrient-dense and are great grab-and-go snacks. 

Complex Carbohydrates

  • Rolled Oats: An incredibly versatile whole grain that provides long-lasting energy.

  • Whole Grain Crackers & Pasta: Shelf-stable carbohydrates that serve as a great base for meals. 

Heat caution: Avoid snacks with chocolate, as it will melt in high summer temperatures.
